This man is the Bob Ross of DIY. A real national treasure.
INTERnational. Canada's gift to the world.
Please tell me that this is satire...🙄🙄🙄
This man is a bafoon
I don't even own a home but I am so blessed to watch you . What a beautiful father you are ...your daughter is a very lucky girl. Great family goals dad. Enjoy that deck
Hi. I just wanted to drop you a quick message. I am a DIY kinda guy who only needs expertise to guide my to fix any project that may come up. People like you are so important in todays world because you teach what you are an expert in. That is an incredibly helpful resource and I appreciate all that you do....Thanks for all your help and keep going brother! Cheers, RBM
I appreciate that. Cheers!
Hey, if you really want to use the red green stirring paddle, I have three suggestions: 1- you were going to pour the sealer into the 5-gallon bucket anyway, why not set the can in there before stirring? 2- use the drill on low gear 3- make your paddle smaller. 😊
My regret with building a deck in this type of neighborhood is that it raises you up higher. I wish I spent the money on a fancy patio and gained extra privacy. Love your channel!!
Exactly my thought. Looks like a stage.
if it is not wood, it is toxic for the soil. WOOD IS GOOD!
Add plants to the top of your fence line and you'll make up the privacy!
Honestly a patio wouldn’t have cost that much more if u did it yourself and would last a long time as long as u properly used your base material and chip stone. Only sounsite is u have to dig up to ten inches deep for the entire area of your patio but if u have some kids to help it’s not that big of a deal
I appreciate him showing DIYers, but this is not easy. Plus with all the required tools, there’s a reason it’s expensive
I don't mean to be a Karen, but I winched every time I saw you using the various power tools without eye protection. I wish only the best for you, and I envy your considerable skill, so please take this is the spirit in which it is offered.
"5000 lbs per post this deck can carry 40,000 lbs. Nobody has that many friends"
Jeff's the man! He can teach us anything, even how to avoid paying Uncle Sam Taxes!
That is easy. renovate your own house and after 3 years sell it and you get all that sweat equity tax free. then repeat. after 12 to 15 years you are a millionaire just by keeping yourself busy on the weekends. Cheers!
@@HomeRenoVisionDIY Thanks why Jeff is the man!
Just wanted to stop and say thank you my wife and I have been able to remodel pretty much our whole home watching and learning from you.
I'd hate to see it this man sucks and almost everything he does is completely wrong.
2:47:00 I really like the tutorial on how to put in the angled screw. Wish i had been taught that trick many years ago!!
Cheers Charles!
Just want to say I really enjoy your show. I’ve been a contractor for about 30 years love your tips and tricks lotta times when I do fencing like what you’re doing.
I like to pre soak my fence with a water hose and then use a $10 pump up sprayer from the big box stores and then use a bristle brush like you’re using to scrub into it. Once again love your show first time commenting.
Thanks 👍

Great video, as always. I have picture-framed my decks for the past 30 years. I would make one change to your design, based on my experience...eliminate the flat 2x4 between the rim and inner joists. I've built three decks, one without a flat support board and two with a flat support board (like your design). No problems with the first one; major rotting of the ends of the deck boards on the other two...water and debris gets into the interface joint and cannot clear. My solution: The interface joint between the picture-framed and the regular deck boards should be free-draining to prevent future water damage. The inner rim joist would be located to support the ends of the deck boards. The picture-framed decking is supported by the rim joist (and intermediate blocking if needed to prevent overturning).
Keep up the good work!
You are a super Dad to do this for your daughter! Great organized builder with so much knowledge that you share freely. Some people are simply jealous of your skills and energy to do that kind of hard labor and create something so awesome. She will have the most awesome back yard in the neighborhood and not have to mow too much grass! There are lots of ways to create privacy with potted trees and shade gazebos...etc. 👍
What a great dad. She is lucky to have a dad like Jeff
Watched from start to finish and learned a lot. I bet your daughter was just thrilled. What a beautiful gift of love all your labor was.
You win the best daddy of the century award! 🥇 wow! This was amazing! Wish I could do this or find someone to do it with this attention to detail, not to mention for less!!!
You have one of the most informative channels on TH-cam.
If it was my own privacy screen, I would've ripped enough off from every cedar plank to make the full height with spacers.
Not time efficient, but pleasing to the eyes.
That was awesome Jeff. I watch it from beginning to end. It turned out absolutely gorgeous. It had a clean and classy look. I'm so impressed. Matt was a great help as well. Thank you for this amazing video. I'm sure your daughter will be in awe!!😊
Man, you used to build water cooling towers, didn't you?
I'm just catching this posting today while I'm doing my taxes. My man! Thank you! You've taught me a lot, and it's like you read my mind with the very privacy system I've been considering all this time! Again, THANK YOU from the Jersey Shore!
I bought a carport canopy from harbor freight for working outside in the sun or rain. You can assemble it to as little as 1/4 size. Super handy!
That's a great idea!

Wow, wish I had dad/brother/friend like you!
The problem I have is a deck that size would be taking up so much real-estate in my yard. In the least, I would add a few hatches so I can check on the bodies I previously hid to make sure their souls are still within my collection.
I was a handyman for many years. "How the hell is that attached" was my daily war cry. Jeff, you are funny and damn good at your job.
Loved how he broke things down into 3 kinds of remodels. You don't have to take everything to the studs and start over. Not changing a tub saves a LOT. Not doing any tile work saves a LOT. Using a simple floor system saves a LOT. The time, complexity, money and risk go up like a hockey stick. Older lath-and-plaster homes are the worst.
I genuinely like the look of the dry cedar
Thank you Jeff for being so detailed with how’s/whys of doing things. Camp system is neat! I will be staining a fence next Spring. Love your daughters deck! You are my to go guy for instructions! 😊
Nice build! I always enjoy watching your show for tip and tricks. Thanks for all that you do!
No messing about just straight to the point on how to DIY. Great tips full of good information.
You do a stellar job!!! So many contractors just throw it together. Our current deck has bowing floor boards “ crown up” that ruined the boards and every post is splitting
Beautiful Jeff. I love your channel and education.
Spectacular ❤
Great video. Speed clamps can help holding spacers and short pieces while measuring and screwing boards
Been watching your videos and have learned a lot from you. One thing I can suggest to you when you are cutting that 2x8 with a 10 inch saw and you come short 1 inch, is roll /lift your board up towards the saw, then you don't need to flip it over and cut the other end. Seattle/Tacoma WA
It's good U and Matt volunteered for free to build it
Jeff this deck came out *FRIGGIN MAGNIFICENT!!!*
I would've LOVED to see your daughter's face when she got home!
Love your videos. This is golden info! Really helps people that simply can't afford to pay contractor pricing.
Glad it was helpful! I am not ever gonna pay for a contractor again for the rest of my life if I can help it.!
IT'S A BEATIFUL JOB, VERY WELL DONE, CONGRATS BROTHER
Nice work,, Here's my only tip.. after 35 years building decks. We use to space deck boards.. But about 20 years ago, I started snugging them as tight as I can.. Why? they shrink. and after a year any rain goes though the gabs after shrinking... also women will Love you because their heals don't get stuck in gaps in the decking. Plus I used galvanized casement finish nails to nail down boards, and I set them below the deck surface... After a year you can't see the nails heads and easier to sand later on.
Beautiful job. If i ever own a house, I'll be coming back to this video
Great Video man! You definitely need to get you some Irwin (or Dewalt) quick grips from Lowes or Home Depot to keep your hands free when your hanging wood that you need to attach. You'd be surprised at how much weight they can hold. Rebuilt an 800 Sq. Ft. Dock on my own by using them to hold things in place while I maneuvered the other end. Safe to say they'd help you build that table a little easier. They're great for keeping a board snug against a 6x6 when you're trying to put in the first screw or for holding a board in place while you're trying to get a clean accurate cut.
This is a great video. I put 8 of these in upstairs and I'm going with a different brand downstairs. But these have held up well so far. I did have to replace a sash for the same issue, but they sent a new one right out. It's amazing how much they charge to put these in. It really is one of the easiest DIY projects to take on. Thanks for posting this.
I love Jeff after seeing a couple of his videos he is shown me what not to do on just about everything I watched! Thanks Jeff you will save me a lot of money or potentially lawsuits from the craziness I just watched in this video.
Absolutely love you man and sorry about your dad. Your a legend and I know he’s a proud man! 💪🏽
Cheers!
WOW. Paint Master you took the Red Wagon to Towne on this Build and because I watched all the saw cuts and nails along with precise measure til the end I hope your daughter buys you a trip on a boat to a place of Her Choice LOL which she knows that you will enjoy 🎉🎉🎉🎉
You darn tooting I'm Inspired.
WHOO WHOO YEAH!!!!!!! off to the local Walmart or the. Headset store that carries what I need to buy my bare porch exterior decor the Prefab Gazebo and fire pit not to mention my extra seating for guest with some wild ANIMAL Print color cushions
Then Watch your Video Again on how to build my deck properly
DUDE You Rock 🎸 On 😎 🧔
HAPPY HOLIDAYS to you and cameraman 2024 ❤
3 1/2 hours well spent. I have built a lot of decks and this beats them all. Excellent, thanks for sharing.
I watched all the original videos and still watched this whole compilation. Awesome work
I wonder if Jeff’s daughter appreciates how lucky she is. I just feel lucky that this guy puts out these DIY videos for me to follow so I can have more nice things instead of having to play The Price is Right. For instance, do I choose the new deck or the renovated kitchen? If I do the work after watching Jeff’s videos, I can choose both!
Jeff you the Boss of all Trades. I been wanting to do a deck and was stressing about getting the beams to sit perfecting on top of the post that's notched out but this is waaaay easier with the bolt system. Thanks
Really enjoyed this video,. I always learn something. I watched a video today from five years ago where a small deck that had the one 4x4 post supporting the weight of the entire front porch. The one that still had the welcome rug on the concrete front porch and you said, anyone that didn't remove the welcome mat sure didn't pour concrete under their support posts. Thanks for the videos. Always interesting and entertaining. Tom-WV
I’m not really a ford guy but the old ones are good stuff. Derek, the soundtrack in this episode had me boogying in my seat. Good stuff. 😂
Thank you. Your examples of forethought and applied experience will save me time, money and effort for my deck renovation project. You speak the truth, to the point in simple sentences. The vulnurability that you show by giving reasons for your procedures make me want to do as you do. Eric W. Roberts in Chatham, VA.
I used Tuffblocks from Lowes instead of the concrete blocks on my floating deck. Highly recommended! I also used a couple of Home Deopt's version of a plastic block called Camo Blocks, but I preferred the Tuffblock.
Awesome stuff. Great teacher!
Excellent build, well done!
I always appreciate Jeff bustin" out his "blood, sweat, and tears" thanks, cheers...
Amazing work, Jeff. You're a true craftsman and professional...So much attention to detail. Keep posting your very informative and inspiring videos.
love the 90s flick music at the end. almost felt romantic watching you brush those benches
So much great knowledge in this. Thank you! 👊🏼
Excellent job. Was up through the night watching it. Many thanks 🙏
Jeff, what I saw a guy do to run electrical wire thru conduit was to take a piece of plastic (piece of bread wrapper works great) and tie the string to it then use a shop vac to suck the string thru the conduit.
It was a pleasure to watch you repair this washing machine that my situation is on the opposite end with the main washer savings as in Cotton, permanent press Etc I appreciate it very much the whole button has come loose so I would love for you to make a video for it. Again it was a pleasure to watch you work
Your videos are ALWAYS AWESOME, and so helpful. One thing you *might* consider for your 'third hand' to help place and level those 2x10's when you are only going up 24" ... use an ATV hoist in the middle. They are already 'wide' (for balanced support), are quickly adjustable, and would give you more flexibility, without having to screw & unscrew. THANKS for the point on the cut pressure treated posts.
The end result is amazing! Thanks for teaching us!
Man you are so inspiring I watched your video on painting I can feel your passion thanks you make me wanna build or fix something cheers
Everyone needs a Dad like you!
I never missed one video of yours,the food you made for your family looks very delicious and healthy,you are blessed to have an extraordinary talent,thanks for sharing your life with us
You’re the man! This looked incredible
Awesome start to finish build Jeff.
Cheers.
Thanks 👍
Incredible work as always. Thank you sir
best happy helpful and slightly intoxicated dad video ever. subscribed.
once again - marvellous job. i am glad to follow and learn from you.
Your straight up and to the point. Just subd. Love watching this stuff when I have time.
That's a beautiful outcome, keep up the good work 👍🏾
AWESOME DETAIL AND INSTRUCTOR
“ had to buy a whole can might as well use it” that hit me hard
Excellent job if your ever in Chicago I need a beautiful deck and thank you for your service love your channel God bless you and your family
Aprendo mucho con tus videos, especialmente en español.. Muchas gracias, por la dedicación....excelente contenido....
Amazing job, thanks for explaining.
Great video. I still have so much respect for you guys and gals that do residential. You probably just misspoke, so my comment is toward the newer techs.....The compressor does not convert gas to a liquid. It compresses the vapor to a higher pressure and higher temp superheated vapor. If anyone ever forgets, just think about where the refrigerant goes after the compressor. The refrigerant then goes to the condenser. The condenser then takes that superheated vapor and de-superheats it and "condenses" that vapor until it then changes state back to a liquid. Happy HVACing.
Magnificent carpentry and explanation- Thank you Sir! Beautiful Job.
Thank you kindly!
You are a GREAT teacher! I really appreciate you! Thank you 😊
With sprayers like that I try to find a baseline pressure to coverage ratio. Just as a guide, but x pumps of the sprayer should = y surface area, be it boards or passes or however you want to do it. Helps keep me on track on larger jobs to keep even coverage on a macro scale. Just a thought
Love your content. Always gold.
Hey Jeff. I bought a project house that was built in 1910 and it had everything you can think of that needs redone and I plan I doing it. Unless you need some good videos. I’m in Indiana.
I stayed till the end. it was really a great watch. love your channel
Charming guy. Love the comment about the deck brush and the pale. Crazy or lazy is a great phase. I wish he was like my uncle or step dad.
I use a 2 foot quick clamp and a small 2x4 cutoff to add a third hand which can hold one end of the 2x10 at the proper height or two perpendicular wood pieces of together.
6" clamps work well on the sides of the 4x4's.
Beats driving and undriving screws in and out... then in again.
What a great find on the fence ordered one up for my next project. Cheers
Good choice! Cheers!
In Canada oil based stains where sort of not available , banned for the longest time , then about 8-10 years ago oil came back ! Water based , flakes off when weathered , oil based simply wears /fades out , much easier to redo later .
Watch your channel all the time picked up lotta handy tricks and good info. I wouldn’t have necessarily recommended air pressure washer, but a pump sprayer then going over with your scrub brush would’ve made your life a lot easier.
This dude teaching so many people and all the contractors are going to be out of work in ten years!!!
Hey Jeff I watch you quite often this is one of my favorites
Thank you for sharing your tips and know-how. Would you share any videos on building a wooden basement door ( hatch)? Trying to build something that last a good 10 yrs. Thank You!
Wondering if you can share the exact brand and information on the stain you used for the fencing. It looks wonderful I love the color
Great job and good tips 👍
nice. i know they are enjoying their newer 2nd room. congrats on their home.
Great job - she'll love it
i realy like your quality work and teaching others to do it the most efective simple SAFE AND YOU AD YOUR PERSONAL TRICKS AND EXPLAINE PERFECTLY THE OPTIONS AS WELL AS PRICE TIME AND YOUR PRODUCT IS QUALITY INSTALATION BUILD TO LAST ........im 51 from quebec 32 years reno exp when im not shure of a tecnic i chek your videos thanks
1:01 putting string through pvc pipe , you can do that at a later time by tying a plastic grocery bag onto one end, then suck the string through to the other end with a vacuum cleaner.
WOW! As usual, great video. Hey, do you by an chance have plans for this deck you built?
I use ATF fluid and used motor oil mixed 50/50 for “cut n seal” - perfect cedar tone finish and totally protected
